Castlevania Nocturne S2 - Drolta's Timeline, wtf Netflix?
Uh oh. I think the writers messed up. Drolta tells Erzsebet in 2x7:
"I wandered the Earth for a thousand years seeking a vessel. And then I found you, the perfect human monster. For nearly 200 more, I prepared you for your destiny."
That means Drolta's been a vamp for approx 1200 years. But the show takes place in 1793 (King Louis 16th is guillotined in 2x3). And we KNOW Drolta was turned into a vamp in 1199.
Meaning Drolta's only been a vamp for 594 years. 🤨
But check this: 1793 - 1200 = 593. 👀 As in, Drolta's speech to Erzsebet implies that she was turned into a vamp in 593 AD--when Egypt was still in the Roman Empire, right before the Sasanians invaded, and conquered Egypt in 618 AD.
And Drolta's temple was attacked by obvs foreign vampires....
And this dude's got a vaguely familiar looking helmet....
So now I'm wondering if there wasn't some HUGE discrepancy somewhere, where Drolta was originally supposed to be oooold AF, who was human way back in Roman Late Antiquity, when Egypt was still pagan (more or less; Christianity was on the rise); before the Sasanians attacked & she became a vampire.
And for whatever reason, that timeline was pushed down to the Middle Ages & the Ayyubid Sultanate instead (when Egypt was Muslim and the pagan traditions were long buried).
So which one is it, Netflix? Is Drolta 1200+ years old, or 500+? 🤔
To be more precise, Drolta said this in 2x5:
Her power strengthened by tasting your holy blood. Drop by drop. Sip by sip. Year by year. For 175 cycles of the sun. She will not burn. And you will walk the earth again.
So we can actually knock off 25 years from 1200, and say she's 1175 years old, going by what she said in 2x7. Meaning she would've been turned in 618, the EXACT year that the Sasanians invaded Egypt.
